# The Map class

(PECL ds >= 1.0.0)

## Einführung

A Map is a sequential collection of key-value pairs, almost identical to an Array used in a similar context. Keys can be any type, but must be unique. Values are replaced if added to the map using the same key.

## Strengths

- Keys and values can be any type, including objects.
- Supports array syntax (square brackets).
- Insertion order is preserved.
- Performance and memory efficiency is very similar to an Array.
- Automatically frees allocated memory when its size drops low enough.

## Weaknesses

- Can’t be converted to an array when objects are used as keys.
